About the role

We are looking for an experienced Principal Accessibility Officer to provide expert advice and leadership on accessibility and inclusive design across development proposals, regeneration schemes and public realm projects.

The role will help ensure that accessibility is considered from the earliest stages of the development process, promoting inclusive, high-quality environments that meet statutory requirements, recognised standards and best practice.

You will work collaboratively with officers, councillors, developers, community groups and other stakeholders to champion inclusive design, provide specialist technical advice and secure improvements to accessibility across the built environment.

You will also identify and pursue external funding opportunities, including Heritage Lottery and other grant programmes, to support accessibility improvements and regeneration initiatives.

What you'll be doing

Act as the Council's lead specialist on accessibility and inclusive design.
Review planning applications, development proposals and public realm schemes, providing specialist accessibility advice.
Influence developers, architects and project teams through meetings, design reviews and negotiations to secure positive accessibility outcomes.
Assess access statements, undertake site visits and prepare clear reports and recommendations for officers, committees and stakeholders.
Advise councillors, officers, developers, community groups and members of the public on accessibility matters.
Respond to enquiries, complaints and consultations relating to accessibility.
Support regeneration and public realm projects by embedding accessibility and inclusive design throughout project development and delivery.
Provide expert advice across planning, development management, regeneration and public realm projects.
Maintain professional accreditation through membership of the National Register of Access Consultants and/or the International Association of Accessibility Professionals, applying current best practice.
Identify funding opportunities and prepare or contribute to grant applications, including Heritage Lottery and other regeneration funding.
Manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining accurate records and meeting deadlines.
Represent the Council on accessibility and inclusive design matters at meetings, design reviews, committees, stakeholder forums and partnership groups.
Work with internal teams including planning, highways, regeneration, housing and legal, as well as developers, architects, consultants, disability access groups, community organisations, funding bodies and statutory agencies.
Support service planning, policy development and continuous improvement.
Monitor emerging legislation, guidance and best practice and recommend improvements to ensure the Council continues to deliver accessible and inclusive development.
Contribute to the Council's transformation and improvement agenda.

About you

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

Expert knowledge of accessibility and inclusive design principles.
Experience providing specialist accessibility advice within planning, development, regeneration, public realm or a related environment.
The ability to assess development proposals and provide clear, practical recommendations.
Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
The ability to influence developers, professionals, councillors and other stakeholders to achieve positive accessibility outcomes.
Experience working collaboratively across different services and organisations.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
Knowledge of relevant accessibility legislation, standards, guidance and best practice.
Experience of contributing to policy, service improvement and project delivery.
Experience identifying and supporting applications for external funding would be advantageous.
A commitment to inclusive, resident-focused services and continuous improvement.

Financial & Resource Management

You will be expected to:

Ensure purchasing and procurement is undertaken in line with Council guidelines.
Manage resources efficiently and contribute to delivery against allocated budgets and savings targets.
Identify opportunities to secure external funding and maximise value for money.
Manage time and resources effectively while minimising unnecessary costs.
